Is it possible to configure an existing sub site as variation source label in 2010?

Hi,
I am trying to configure variations on an existing site. For example, I already have a site collection and a sub site "en-us" that has all the content. Would it be possible to configure this existing "en-us" as my variation source site?
If not possible, can anyone suggest me any work-around? This is very critical and hopefully there is a way to achieve this without having to move all the content from "en-us" to my top level site, create variation labels with different names, and then delete
the content from top-level site. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Karthik

Hello, I'm kinda in a loop using Variations 2010. Thanks in advance if some one could through some light >>>

After I create variation heirarchy in a site collection: I have 2 folders like English and French. I created a publishing wiki site under English which is my source. When I add some custom content and click on publish it showing 2 options 1) Update
2) Create. When Click on Update it shows successfully updated and when I click on Create - showing ERROR: variation is not enable on site. Essentially I have 2 questions: if I use Update - what is happening behind? like is it creating a french site under French
folder or wating for timer job (which I set 1min). 2nd question: If click on Create: does it creates new site under french folder? No superb article out on steps! any advice - appriciated.

We have SharePoint 2010 farm using Kerberos for authentication that works fine for almost all scenarios, except this last issue we see with PerformancePoint and the Dashboard Designer.

When our Data Connections library is empty I can start the Dashboard Designer and create a New Data Source. Clicking on Save the data source is saved in the correct location (default PPS library).

However, once I do an action that requires the Dashboard Designer to read the list of data sources from this library I get an access issue. This could be by trying to create a report using the saved data source or by closing the Dashboard Designer and opening
it again to create a data source.

I created a site and am trying to grant another pesron access to upload
changes to it without giving them my super-user login.

I made a login for her but I can't test whether it works or not because no
matter how much I "disconnect" in the Copy Web Site page of VWD 2010, reconnecting to the same site always logs in as
my superuser account without prompting me for a login again.

How do I test is the account it set up correctly before having her try to
upload to it? I want to force the login to remote site dialog to pop up
again to test her account.

Do you like a big pile of source code? Well, there is an imperial buttload of source in the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Training Kit . It's actually a 178 meg download, which is insane. Perhaps start your download now and get it in the morning when you get up. It's extremely well put together and I say Kudos to the folks that did it. They are better people than I. I like to explore it while watching TV myself and found myself looking through tonight. I checked my blog and while I thought I'd shared this with you before, Dear Reader, I hadn't. My bad, because it's pure gold . With C# and VB, natch. Here's an outline of what's inside. I've heard of folks setting up lunch-time study groups and going through...(read more)

I saw this on another post, but it still doesn't seem to have been resolved.

How do you disable this pop-up that reads

"Microsoft Office can remember your My Site to synchronize documents stored here in Outlook and to show it when opening and saving files. Do you want Office to remember this site (http://xxx/)? Only select 'yes' if you trust this site."

It stops appearing on certain pages, but for example this appears every time you click 'Add Colleagues' link in Colleagues.

I've been using MOSS 2007 for my company's CMS system for the last 2 years or so. Recently, the marketing department has asked us to include the option for multilingual support so naturally, I looked to using variations to accomplish this, however, the site
was setup without variations since this was "definitely" not a requirement back when we setup the site.

My problem is when I enable variations, it seems to create new sites off of the root (e.g. English, Spanish, French), however, it isn't copying anything from the Root site that already exists or any of it's subsites or pages. Is there any
to keep my existing site content intact and still use variations, including all of the update features?
